The Best Vegan Pesto Recipe

The Best Vegan Pesto Recipe

Pesto can brighten up any dish. It’s so fresh tasting and it adds a ton of flavor to any salad, pasta, or sandwich. I like to eat it on a caprese salad. Pesto is also really good for marinating and grilling. Since many people are going vegan and gluten-free these days, try out this recipe with gluten-free pasta and skip the cheese, and you’ll be surprised at how good this pesto recipe tastes.

Pesto freezes amazingly well. When basil is plentiful, we make loads of it and freeze it in ziploc bags (or in an ice cube tray). I defrost it either by dropping the ziploc in warm water or, if I’m going to cook with it, I just heat it up in a pan with a little olive oil.
